Okay, there's one benefit from LLMs.

    They still ask you why their garbage doesn't work or how to run a PDF.
    I'm not even a computer programmer, I do industrial automation!

    You're getting downvoted because you didn't get reference.

    It was an Apple ad where some actress from Stranger Things said that after somebody asked her what she was doing on her computer (IPad).

    It wasn't well received because it was almost a celebration of customer ignorance. But in recent decades that seems to be the case with their marketing.

    Oh, I didn't even recognize one as a logo and was completely fine with the meme adding a blood-splat to the soldier.

    What are the icons? Some sort of AI code products?

    I can read this as either: AI allows anyone to code their own stuff.

    Or

    AI is hogging all the million dollar ideas.

    AI is hogging all the million dollar ideas.

    At least my million dollar ideas friends wasting AI's time with the useless crap, instead of ruining a perfectly nice meal conversation with me.

    Of course, I know it is only buying me a few months. The "quick fix to my AI app" requests are gathering on the horizon.

    I still think no-code tools are better suited for building prototypes without requiring development knowledge in order to prove your idea. LLMs just added a complicated extra-step.

    Ah yes because we need more apps.

    But these aren't just any apps, these are shitty half-assed apsps generated from a slurry of unrelated mediocre code scraped from the corners of the web.

    I am not looking forward to next year when every new aspect of any service I use online will have an 80% chance to be a half-assed shit slurry.

    Today's 65% chance was already time consuming and exhausting.

    am i wrong or is this a terrible meme format for what it's trying to say?

    edit: it was the former

    idk the soldier is supposed to be a negation/protection rather than providing/helping with something.

    this seems more appropriate for the mercy meme or something.

    I’d argue it is protecting programmers. Previously, people would waste programmers’ time with poorly concepted/uncreative app ideas. But now people are going “oh I can do that on my own”, and wasting their own time with AI vibe coding.
